Do you know if it is possible to use F# on windows without having to install several GB of crap? I'd like to be able to try it out, but the same way I would try any other language, install the compiler and try it out. All I can find is huge packages including visual studio and all kinds of other junk.

Take a look at option 3 on this page, have not tried it myself, since I use VS daily http://fsharp.org/use/windows/

There is an online editor/REPL/tutorial at http://www.tryfsharp.org/

You will need the Silverlight plugin.
